The Tropical Rainfall Potential (TRaP) Technique. Part II: Validation

ABSTRACT

Satellite analysts at the Satellite Services Division (SSD) of the National Environmental, Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) routinely generate 24-h rainfall potential for all tropical systems that are expected to make landfall within 24 to at most 36 h and are of tropical storm or greater strength (>65 km h^sup -1^). These estimates, known as the tropical rainfall potential (TRaP), are generated in an objective manner by taking instantaneous rainfall estimates from passive microwave sensors, adverting this rainfall pattern along the predicted storm track, and accumulating rainfall over the next 24 h.

In this study, the TRaPs generated by SSD during the 2002 ...
